United States Court House
United States Court House, Federal courthouse in El Paso, Texas, United States
The United States Court House, located at 511 West San Antonio Avenue, features smooth stone facades, limestone pilasters, and terra cotta decorations across its five floors.
Built in 1936 during the New Deal era, architects Percy McGhee, Guy Fraser, and Thomas Lippincott designed this Streamline Moderne structure to serve federal judicial proceedings.
The south lobby contains the 'Pass of the North' mural by Thomas C. Lea III, reflecting the regional heritage of the El Paso community.
The courthouse maintains seven operational courtrooms for the United States District Court Western District of Texas, with an additional courtroom planned for construction.
Two large interior courtyards provide natural light and ventilation throughout the building, adapting to the hot climate of Southwest Texas.
